Hi,

the Pipeline Maven Integration (pipeline-maven-plugin) states that for production you should use mysql/postgres instead of the embedded h2. Now we are running that setup with h2 for a long time without any issues and i was not able to find any information on what the difference is.

Our current setup is kubernetes based and we have a handfull of jenkins instances; I'm now not sure if the benefit of using a database is worth the effort.

We build on ~100 agents and they probably are connecting back to jenkins master or do they all have their own h2?
